Potential Pseudomonas bacteria sparked a voluntary recall of select 18\u2011packs of Topo\u202fChico Mineral Water distributed through Costco in Texas and Louisiana. Shoppers have options for full refunds and phone support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consumers eager for a sparkling sip should double\u2011check their pantry today. Coca\u2011Cola has pulled one production lot of 16.9\u2011ounce glass Topo\u202fChico bottles after internal tests suggested possible contamination with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the threat to healthy adults is minor, people with weakened immune systems could face infections if they drink the water. The retailer announced the recall on June\u202f2, 2025, covering product sold between May\u202f20 and May\u202f29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wondering if the Topo\u202fChico in your fridge is part of the recall? Scan the neck label and outer case for the details below. Items outside this lot remain safe to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check every bottle\u2014yes, even the one already tucked into a cooler\u2014before deciding whether to keep or return it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pseudomonas bacteria thrive in watery environments, from garden soil to municipal pipes. Most healthy adults who accidentally ingest these microbes experience no symptoms. However, immunocompromised individuals, infants, and older adults may develop mild gastrointestinal or respiratory infections. Consequently, Coca\u2011Cola and Costco opted for a \u201cbetter\u2011safe\u2011than\u2011sorry\u201d approach to protect all patrons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Regulatory guidelines encourage recalls when pathogens are detected at any level in bottled beverages. By acting quickly, the company limits broader distribution, preserves consumer trust, and avoids potential legal exposure down the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, stop drinking bottles marked with lot code\u202f13A2541. Instead, return the entire case\u2014or even a single opened unit\u2014to any Costco warehouse for a full cash refund. No receipt handy? No problem. Store staff can verify the item number at the membership desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prefer to talk it through? Dial Coca\u2011Cola\u2019s customer line at\u202f1\u2011800\u2011438\u20112653. Representatives can confirm eligibility, answer health questions, and explain disposal guidance. After your refund, consider replacing the product with a fresh batch produced outside the recall window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In brief, only one lot of Topo\u202fChico sold through select Costco clubs is affected; no other Coca\u2011Cola beverages fall under this notice. Acting now by checking lot codes keeps households safe and, frankly, saves you the worry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Costco item<\/th> Package description<\/th> Bottle size<\/th> Lot code<\/th> Sale window<\/th> States involved<\/th><\/tr><\/thead> 1439351<\/td> 18\u2011pack glass case<\/td> 16.9\u202foz<\/td> 13A2541<\/strong><\/td> May\u202f20\u201329\u202f2025<\/td> Texas, Louisiana<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Why Pseudomonas contamination matters even if risk is considered low<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
